ELM 5-050

ELM 5-050 is a type of Spacer, stand-off manufactured by ELM. It is a cylindrical fastener made of stainless steel with a diameter of 5 millimeters and 50 millimeters length. This type of spacer can be used to provide a space between two components that need to be connected, hence the name of spacer. It also prevents two components from coming too close to each other, which can cause damage, vibration and other undesirable effects. The ELM 5-050 is a popular choice for a spring-loaded mounting solution, where the part being connected can be compressed without coming loose.

The spacer has a number of applications, commonly found in electrical products such as computer disks, LED lighting fixtures, and even computer keyboards. It can also be used as a shock mount in electronic gaming consoles and audio equipment. The part is also ideal for applications requiring vibration reduction, such as in high-performance engines, engines with direct injection, and other components requiring enhanced durability.

The working principle of the ELM 5-050 Spacer is quite simple. It consists of two main parts: the main body and the internal compression spring. When the part is installed, the main body is secured in one place with the help of nuts and/or screws, while the internal spring is placed inside the internal cavities of the body and allowed to compress freely. Once installed, the internal spring will provide resistance to the compression, ensuring that the two components that need to be connected do not come too close to each other.

When the components are connected, the one placed in front will be pressed against the spacer, while the one behind will be pushed against the wall. This creates a tension between the two parts, which is necessary to keep the connection secure. The spacer will ensure that the two components remain separated and stored in the proper distance. This can be critical to secure a safe connection, particularly in vibrations-prone environments.

The ELM 5-050 Spacer can be a great option to provide a secure mounting solution or a safe distance between any two components. It is a popular choice for electronics, engines, gaming consoles, and other devices which are subject to vibrations and other harmful effects due to close proximity of components. Apart from providing a secure connection, the spacer can also prevent two components from contacting one another, preventing any possible damage caused by unnecessary vibration.
